Chapter Text
“You can be the strongest.”
“That’s it?”
“Yeah.”
“So you don’t care anymore? Or did you just realize that it wasn’t close. That you don’t stand a chance.” Flame asked, not that it sounded like a question.
“I guess, yeah. I guess you can be the strongest.”
“I mean like-“
“Yeah.”
“Just remember that.”
…
“Ok, I’ll remember.”
Wemmbu was on the brink of passing out at this point, half his armor was gone and he could barely hold his mace, let alone keep fighting Flame, that didn’t stop the other from rubbing it in though, Wemmbu couldn’t help but giggle, he stayed near the bottom of the pit for a while, resting? Contemplating? Who knows. He probably could’ve fallen asleep down there–
“Hey buddy”
“Hello?” Wemmbu shot up, looking for were that voice was coming from.
“Wow, you’ve definitely seen better days.”
The cat dropped down, Wemmbu didn’t dare take his eyes off him. He wasn’t in a state to let his guard down, especially not next to Lettuce.
“So what’s that supposed to mean?” He shot back as the cat continue to descend.
Lettuce laughed, odd for someone who supposedly lost. He sent what? 1000 of his own men to a battle only for none of them to return and he wasn’t even sad? Disappointed? Enraged? Anything??
“You’ve definitely been in a better gear situation, no?” Lettuce continued, now right in front of the demon, who still hasn’t moved from where he sat. The cat dropped down to bedrock, Wemmbu tried to get up and maybe mine out of fly out or anything but he could barely move.
Lettuce flew back up with the mace Wemmbu barely remembered dropping earlier.
He landed in front of Wemmbu “Thanks for this by the way.” He swung it in his hands. Letting the weight sync into his paws.
“Anyways!” The cat perked up.
Wemmbu was still confused, how– why was Lettuce so happy after all that? “So…your entire army just died…”
“It’s unfortunate right?” He replied, way too enthusiastically.
Something was wrong.
“With the way you are right now I don’t even need an army to take you with me...” He grinned sweetly, as if he didn’t just threaten a man. “So what’s gonna happen now is either you’re gonna die! Or you’re gonna come with me!”
Ah.
So Lettuce wanted them all to die.
